Risk of HIV/STD
Dear Doctor
I very recently and regettably visited a sex worker and I want to know if I have exposed myself to any risks from the following activities:
1. licking her nipples?
2. me masturbating her with my fingers - there was a substantial amount of vaginal fluid as I was doing this?
3. she was also touching her own vagina, and with the same hands, masturbated me when I was not wearing a condom (i.e. I am pretty sure her vaginal fluids would have made contact with my penis)?
Other than the above, we did not engage in any other sexual acts, but after about 24 hrs I experienced a sore throat and developed symptons typical of a mild cold. can you pls confirm if I have any risk from HIV/other STDs and if I need to get tested?
4. Also, around 5 years ago, I had 2 instances of unprotected oral sex - do I need to worry about this/get tested? Is it likely that I may have contracted something? I had a test for chalmydia about 1 year ago and it was clear.
Thanks for yr help

Welcome to the forum.
Questions 1-3: The exposures you describe carry no risk for any STD. If a bare penis (no condom) is not inserted into another person's vagina, rectum, or mouth, no STDs are transmissible.
Question 4: It is exceedingly unlikely you acquired anything by oral sex that would persist 5 years. For sure chlamydia and gonorrhea cannot do that, and if you had no penile sores/blisters in the few weeks following the events, you can be very confident you did not catch herpes or syphilis. And HPV/warts are not transmitted by oral sex.
I hope this helps. I notice you posted the same question on the international forum. We (and they) recommend against asking the same question on both forums. Our opinions and advice are virtually never different; you can expect their advice to be more or less identical to mine. It's too late now, but perhaps other users will save their excess posting fees.
